Floor crossing should trigger a by-election. Canada currently supports bait-and-switch by MPs who just seek power, not representation.

In a brief statement on Monday, Davies, the party’s parliamentary leader, said his proposed bill would require members of Parliament who wish to join another party to first obtain consent from their constituents through a byelection or sit as an Independent until the next general election.

Oh so it’s a bill. I thought it’d be NDP policy alone.
